I am sure most of you wonder how to replace your current windows on a laptop that doesn't even have a CD-rom , or how to install a fresh copy on it. Well first , you need the following application http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=1054 and then you need another PC , and a CD or DVD Rom , and a Windows Xp Cd , of course. You also need a 2.0 USB stick less then 2 Gig's or it won't work.
Here is a more detailed way and download links : (Source
msfn.org )
Unpack USB_MultiBoot_10.zip to your Harddisk in a simple Path without SPACES.
Major Changes and Support:
-
Basic Use Involves only Selecting
XP
Source Folder and USB-Drive Target
to make USB-Stick which can be used for Install of XP on
Mobile PC like e.g. ASUS Eee subnotebook
- USB_MultiBoot.cmd is
Vista Compatible, but requires User Account Control OFF.
The
bootmgr BootSector made by PeToUSB is Detected and
Converted to
NTLDR Bootsector ( No need anymore to use
BootSect.exe separately )
XP as OS is Preferred for Speed of FileCopy to USB ( 10 min instead of 30 minutes for Vista OS )
-
Advanced Users can make
USB-MultiBoot SuperStick or Harddisk,
when selecting Multi_boot.ini and
MULTI_CONTENT Source offering a large variety of
handy computer tools available via boot.ini GRUB4DOS or SYSLINUX Menu
-
Siginet's RyanVM Integrator or
nLite can be used to Integrate
Windows UpdatePacks in the XP-Source.
http://integrator.si...ex.php?download and
http://www.nliteos.com/
The Complete XP-Source is Copied to XP LocalSource Folder $WIN_NT$.~LS on USB-Drive
Take care that your XPSOURCE Folder is located on your Harddisk in a simple Path without SPACES.
- Supports the use of
BTS DriverPacks located in OEM Folder on USB-Drive -
http://driverpacks.net/DriverPacks/
For Install of XP on a modern system with SATA Drives it is needed to use DPsBase.exe
for Integrating in your XPSOURCE
BTS DriverPack Massstorage with TXT Mode Enabled.
In that case a lot of Extra RAID SCSI and SATA Drivers (about 120 extra) are Integrated which appear in the
XP Setup BootFolder $WIN_NT$.~BT on USB-Drive and can prevent a lot of XP Install Boot Problems.
First use RyanVM Integrator and than use DPsBase to Improve your XP-Source.
The program supplies a Customised presetup.cmd and changes the winnt.sif file for use of DriverPacks.
- For
USB-Harddisk use Menu Option 0) to Change USB-stick in USB-Harddisk.
Because that makes that rdummy.sys is used and this is essential for using USB-Harddisk.
rdummy.sys makes Fixed USB-Harddisk seen in XP Setup as Removable Device.
-
boot.ini and
winnt.sif Files and
$OEM$Folder are User Selectable,
Handy for Windows 2003 and Non Standard Installs and for making MultiBoot USB-Drive
Use the supplied winnt.sif file, which is copied to file Current_winnt.sif in Folder w_sif
For
Unattended Install use the build in Edit UserData Setup to give ProductKey and TimeZone.
Use for Preparing USB-Drive Only winnt.sif file without an [Unattended] Section and with MsDosInitiated="1"
The Current_winnt.sif File is adjusted for this and copied by USB_MultiBoot.cmd to $WIN_NT$.~BT folder on USB-Drive.
- OEM or nLite winnt.sif File is detected in XPSOURCE and Auto Changed for Install of XP from USB.
In that case All Setup Parameters come from XPSOURCE and therefore Empty $OEM$_X Folder is Selected.
For UNATTENDED XP Install use the build in Edit UserData Setup to Change the 8 required parameters.
Give ProductKey and TimeZone used in Current_winnt.sif Copy of your winnt.sif
- Change
$OEM$ folder to your needs, which is copied to $WIN_NT$.~LS folder on USB-Drive
CMDLINES.TXT is used for making UserAccounts and install of Registry Tweaks at T-12
Info see:
http://unattended.ms.../unattended.xp/
ren_fold.cmd was changed such that $OEM$\$1 and $OEM$\$$ folders are copied
as usual to systemdrive (usually C:\) and systemroot (usually C:\WINDOWS) respectively.
For anything else you want to copy from USB-Drive, you can add similar lines to ren_fold.cmd,
which is executed at T-9 by the Section SetupParams of winnt.sif file
Or Use CMDLINES.TXT and useraccounts.cmd in the $OEM$ Folder for Extra Copy Commands.
- Supports also USB-Drives having
FAT32 or
NTFS Format, thus overcoming the 2 GB limit of FAT Format.
NTFS Format allows larger DriveSize and is very useful for Install of XP from USB-Harddisk.
Besides
NTFS Format is handy for
Install of Vista from USB via
GRUB4DOS chainload of
bootmgr
FAT32 is extremely slow in Windows XP FileCopy during TXT Mode (has anyone an idea why ?),
whereas NTFS Format of USB-Drive makes everything go faster than with FAT Format.
In the
Format Menu one can Select:
P) PeToUSB - FAT Format - Max 2 GB
Install of XP from USB in 30 minutes - Buffalo FireStix 2 GB
FAT Format Supports Direct Booting with MS-DOS using MULTI_CONTENT
Do NOT Select here FileCopy of BartPE
H) HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool V2.0.6 -
NTFS Format - use X_CONTENT
Install of XP from USB in
16 minutes - Corsair Flash Voyager 4 GB USB-stick
N) No Format - Use USB-Harddisk with FAT or NTFS Format by Windows XP
Use MULTI_CONTENT Folder only with FAT Format USB-Drive
for Support of Direct Booting with MS-DOS from boot.ini Menu
Use X_CONTENT Source Folder for making NTFS or FAT Format USB-Drive
with Support of Booting from DOS Floppy Images via GRUB4DOS Menu
HP Format Tool Enables to make large USB-sticks with NTFS Format which are very useful,
but is missing the option of PeToUSB to Install BartPE on USB-Drive.
The program was changed such that
BartPE http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
or
UBCD4Win http://www.ubcd4win.com/index.htm can be added now for all Format Options to USB-Drive
by
Selecting BartPE Source Folder in the Main Menu. Remove with Cancel.
So don't use PeToUSB for Install of BartPE anymore, but only use PeToUSB to make FAT Format USB-Drive.
Using Cancel in BartPE Source Folder Selection, Disables the Install of BartPE on USB-Drive.
FileCopy to USB-Drive begins with USB Content Source Folder, followed by the XP Setup Source Folder
and finally the BartPE Source Folder is copied when a valid path was given with option 5)
- FAT32 and NTFS do not support Direct Booting into MS-DOS FREEDOS and Windows PE 2.0
Unsupported Boot Options are automatcally removed from the Menu's.
GRUB4DOS via boot.ini is in any FileSystem very powerful, especially using
chainload of BootLoaders.
But GRUB4DOS also allows to Boot from MS-DOS or FREEDOS Floppy Images and to Boot from Linux.
http://grub4dos.jot.com/WikiHome
http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index...ub4dos_tutorial
-
BootSector Files are made with
dsfo / dsfi from the once with
mkbt.exe copied BootSector,
instead of Install, Copy and Reset of BootSectors using mkbt.exe for making each BootSector File.
MakeBS3.cmd of jaclaz is used for making
NTFS BootSector Files,
where SETUPLDR.BIN was Renamed to
XPSTP according to the 5-letter limit requirement.
- Windows XP Recovery Console from USB is supported and by launching it via GRUB4DOS Menu
Booting Direct with
XP Recovery Console has conflict by unwanted launching XP Setup.
The program
CMDCONS_Folder.cmd can be used separately,
which makes Recovery Console folder cmdcons by parsing DOSNET.INF File.
- Overflow Control has been added by measuring DiskSize, FreeSize, XP-Source and
Multi_Content Source Folders using ASP Drive Object and Visual Basic Scripting.
SEE:
http://www.w3schools...p_ref_drive.asp
http://www.robvander....com/index.html
- Excluding LANG and WIN98X Folders from Copy to USB can be Selected,
which reduces the XP-Source on USB-Drive by 135 MB
Reduction of the XP WINDOWS Folder can be achieved with
nLite
but do
NOT select Operating System Options-->Manual Install and Upgrade for removal.
XPSOURCE Space Saving Tips see:
http://unattended.ms...xp/view/web/57/
You can Safely Remove the XPSOURCE folders:
WIN9XMIG, WIN9XUPG and WINNTUPG - This will free up 37.6 MB
LANG - 99 MB and cmpnents - 22.6 MB ( Needed for MCE / Tablet PC only )
- The Folder usb_cfg_extra provides scripts for
BartPE Menu
http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
For the Automatic Install of Programs after Install of XP from USB
we can use a script for the very handy
Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI) http://wpiw.net/
- In WPI script there is the option to run
SFC /purgecache which deletes the dll cache and
which is a very simple way to reduce the WINDOWS Folder Size by 360 MB
The Result is a XP WINDOWS Folder Size on Harddisk of only 785 MB inclusive all Updates.
- Supports
Portable WinTools which run direct from GO-Menu button in a VISTA or XP environment
http://www.dirk-loss.de/win-tools.htm
http://users.pandora...USBMemStick.htm
- Direct Booting with MS-DOS from USB-stick with boot.ini Menu is prepared as follows:
You only have to add from Win98 MS-DOS BootFloppy the files IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS to
the MULTI_CONTENT Folder and file COMMAND.COM to the folder DOS of the MULTI_CONTENT Folder.
These Hidden System Files are only visible in Windows Explorer after adjusting Tools > Folder Options
Run USB_MultiBoot.cmd and choose FAT Format with PeToUSB (max 2GB stick) and
Select Multi_boot.ini as boot.ini (option B ) and MULTI_CONTENT as Source (option 2) in the Main Menu.
The supplied config.sys of the MULTI_CONTENT folder regulates that for MS-DOS
the COMMAND.COM is found in the DOS folder so that confusion with FREEDOS is prevented.
- Direct Booting with FREEDOS from USB was Removed since there were too few cases successful.
- More Help with
Bookmarks is available in the Help_Info Folder in USB_MultiBoot_10.zip
- Use of MultiBoot_10.cmd and everything in this Guide is COMPLETELY at your own risk.
Wi-Fi Security can be hard. There are many options, many settings, and a lot of techno-babble in many WiFi clients that make it difficult for non-technical users to understand.

You got this new shiny phone , you love it. It's based on android or Java , it works like charm , so you think that you would like to keep it clean , and if your pc has an antivirus , why not your phone? Well here's where you are WRONG! Java or Android phones , cannot have viruses. Usually the antivirus itself is a "virus" that once opened will simulate that your phone has something wrong , and the antivirus will clean it , then 99% of the cases a popup will ask you to buy the software for 100% cleaning and protection.Don't fall for this old trick in a book people. It's just a way to make money. Your phone can never be infected , and even if it could , I am pretty sure the service provider will fix your phone for a low price , rather then download untrusted antivirus applications for your phone. Also bare in mind that softwares that can access the internet , can bring other softwares , and its called backdoor. Why would someone put softwares on your phone? Well , once they have the right files on it , they might as well use your phone credits to call people , text them , or even send YOUR credits to themselves.
